AGST IGSL Theological Studies Forming scholar-theologians for the Asian church.

The Ph.D./ThM in Theological Studies programs form scholar-theologians for the Asian church by equipping them to apply the insights of Christian theology in the Asian context and to tell the largely untold story of Asia’s Christian communities.

What a blessing to gather in person once again and close out another school year together. This year, we celebrated the graduation of 1 PhD student (Margaret John) and 3 ThM students (Jonathan Gumintad, Reyson Ventura, and Areem Zia) who have persevered and finished well.

We’re grateful to God for bringing men and women from different parts of the world to be equipped through the program. It's a joy to witness this community of theologians grow year after year!

Congratulations to Jonathan Gumintad, who successfully defended his thesis entitled, "Christ Our Healer: A Historical-Theological Retrieval of Jesus as Healer for CAMACOP Churches Today". His thesis addresses a real need: while C&MA has historically placed special emphasis on Christ as healer, the theme has receded in importance in recent years.

To enrich CAMACOP's vision for holistic healing, Jonathan turned to the past — specifically to Cyprian of Carthage, who led his congregation through a devastating plague, and Basil of Caesarea, credited with laying the foundation for Christian hospitals. His work is a fine example of putting the Great Tradition to work in the service of the church in Asia. Well done, Jonathan!

Congratulations to Margaret John on her successful dissertation defense!

Margaret's dissertation argues that the doctrine of the church has long been neglected in Indian theology, a gap made all the more urgent by the increasing persecution the Indian church now faces. In this context, the church is tempted to become defensive or to withdraw into itself. Building on Lesslie Newbigin's missionary ecclesiology and drawing from Scripture and Christian tradition, she calls the Indian church to recover its identity as a missional community sent by God to practice compassion, pursue justice, and bear faithful witness to the gospel.

Well done, Margaret!

Congratulations to Areem Zia for a successful thesis defense today! Areem's thesis explored the most challenging and important issue in Christian theology in Islamic contexts: the doctrine of the Trinity. He explored the relevance of Herman Bavinck in strengthening Pakistani expressions of and defenses of the Trintiy, and pointed the way for some important further study. Well done, Areem!

Join us in congratulating Reyson Ventura on his successful ThM thesis defense today! Reyson's thesis offered a case study in "Theological Interpretation of Scripture," considering 1 Cor 8:1-6 in the Filipino context. He argued that the Filipino concept of 𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘰 (the one who comes to the rescue or helps) helps us understand how Paul sees Jesus (the ultimate 𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘰) and clarifies our calling as Christians—as those called to care for one another.
